My Blog

My friend says that I need an image change. She says I am too prissy (pristine) looking, and I need to get my ‘feathers ruffled a bit’. A week before, I told Big B and Fun that I wanted to get cargos. They commented ‘You are too short for them’. I’m not really that short ga wor. I am 5′2 1/2. They are tall what. Since I’ve got nothing better to do, I went shopping for the cargos. First to Center Point, then to Warisan.

I must have tried on at least 30 pairs. Olive, grey, blue, beige, brown. Some were cropped, some were long; some with big pockets, some with belts. Looking at the mirrors carefully, in all angles, made me reject all of them. I looked FAT in them! I almost bought a pair at Giordano (RM119 less 30% so it was a good deal), D stopped me with her comment ‘you butt looks huge in them!’. So I asked G the standard ‘do I look fat in them?’ question. The poor soul paused. I could see sweat slittering down his face. He finally said ‘Ummm…those pants…just aren’t made for you.’ I smiled, and decided he is indeed a nice man.

I went back to Giordano after lunch. D and G had to get back to work. This time I went to the one at ground floor because I didn’t think the saleslady was too happy with us this morning. I really liked those pants. I tried them on the second time. I realized then that both D and G were correct. Not a good choice. But the salesman was really nice, and he got me to try on another style of pants and many tops. The nice salesman asked me whether I was single. He also asked me where I lived. Boy oh boy. I hope the nice salesman wasn’t going to be a stalker in disguise.

The pair of woven shorts the stalker nice salesman recommended was neat, but I didn’t want to buy them without asking for a friend’s opinion. When I was a kid, my mama told me I should not trust salesmen as they will say whatever just to get commission. My mama is wise. So I will bring along a friend for a second opinion before I buy them. I think I will go back to the Giodano at Palm Square. I like the shop at Palm Square better.

Today I came home empty handed, but I have an idea what I want now. Dark brown cargos, with an olive top. I will continue to shop around, hopefully I will get an exact one within the next year.
